For the cost of the cloth, it is good insurance. I lost five hens to a weisel that go through a small opening. Tractor looks great. Good luck!

You will be fine without a cover over your run. If the rain is light the chickens will stay out in it and if it is heavy rain they will go back into the coop. I have a few that stay out no matter what.

I killed a Wiesel last week that killed five of my hens. It got two one night and three a different night. On the second night my dog started to bark so I went out and could hear my hens screaming. When I got to the coop two were dead, i closed it back up and went inside. A while later my dog...

It's amazing how chicken math happens. I started with 2 then + 4-1+1+1+4+2+3+6 and soon to be adding 30.

I wait until the chicks are eight weeks old to make sure they are feathered out and can deal with the cool nights. As far as your chicks using the ladder, they will have no problem getting used to it. In the brooder they will climb around on anything they can, sitting on top of the roost,feed...

I though that it might be weasels. I had some friends that lost most of their chickens to them. I will set up some traps tomorrow to see if I can get them. I want to make sure to take care of the problem before I put my young chicks (which are in the brooder) in with the older ones. I just hate...

My run is completely closed in with fencing and netting over the top. Any other ideas. thanks

The second was in the coop with feathers around it and it looked like the head was attacked. Any ideas...

I left my broody hen in the nesting box. I put a bunch of fertilized eggs under her and let her do her thing. They get off for a few minutes each day to eat and drink but will not allow the eggs to cool off. My other hens would go in the laying box with her each day and lay their eggs, it never...

I didn't get a pic of the chick. I had to hurry up and get back to the feed store before they closed. I have been a fan of the site for quite a while but never joined. I am hooked, I have six production reds, one mix, and now four aracauna , two light brahma and 3 plymouth rock chicks. Need a...

I picked up my Plymouth rock chicks today from a local feed store and when I got home I realized that one of chicks had a third foot coming out of the upper leg. Its toes on one of the other feet curled right over and could not walk around. I put it in the brooder with my one week old chicks and...
